    When I attach the cables to my High-Lift, I use the pin as leverage to get it into the highest hole possible.

    I saw that safe jack makes a hi lift foot, so I'll have to pick one up
    That's a good idea! Thanks.

    May have missed it. But is there a difference in the bottle jack that comes with Tacoma vs. The 4Runner one I see you have?

    The Inner Diameter of the SafeJack extensions and pads won’t fit over the larger O.D. of the Tacoma jack ram.

    Posted this in the other thread "Jack" thread but figured i'd put my question here as well...

    I picked up a 4runner jack to work with the SafeJack accessories but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the cap off of the jack ram???

    I cut mine. I used a cut-off wheel on a grinder.

    IIRC, there was a crimp on the cap, and I just cut the crimp off.

    I drilled out the four little dimples that holds the cap to the ram.

    Thanks. I have a bed slide with my my tool box mounted on the front. Makes for easy access to items in the box. It does compromise vertical space in the back but I have this weird space on the sides I want to utilize...this is perfect!

    @Subway4X4 just wanted to thank you for turning me onto the hilift safe jack stabilizer. Used it on my 60" this past weekend on yellow jacket at rausch. Had to jack up my passenger side to stack some rocks under the tire, and the terrain was a bit slanted. The stabilizer worked like a charm though. Hell, at one point that jack was almost 15 degrees leaned to the side while we were lowering the jack, and it held true. Without it, it would have been a different story.
